I was confused about this also, I’ve been using GameNative on a pixel 10 on and off since I got mine in October. Maybe compatibility just got a lot better because of fixing GPU drivers? I did notice a lot of games had issues but I assumed that applied to anything that doesn’t use snapdragon

It depends. I run GrapheneOS and it can pass everything except the most strict integrity check (which is just that you’re using a custom ROM at all).

In practice most apps don’t have any problems. Google assistant doesn’t really work for me but I’ve seen posts saying people have gotten it working. Google wallet and Google Pay are also explicitly blocked by google, so they will never work.

I think the reason GrapheneOS never did a GSI is because most of their security improvements rely on specific hardware calls that GSI abstractions don’t provide access to. This probably would still be an improvement over lineage though, just not as secure as base Graphene is.

My point is that US citizens could remove their criminal president

If it were as simple as people just deciding to remove him then he would have been impeached in 2018 and again in 2020 and then sent to jail

Nevertheless, U.S. citizens act as if that were not the reality.

Again, where are you getting that? The people that are not aware of how much of a criminal Trump is aren’t using a platform created with the purpose of taking power away from big tech.

Every day I worry about what idiotic thing the US government is going to do next. And every day I worry about how establishment democrats are going to use republicans as an excuse to shift their politics to the right. I am painfully aware about how the US is making the world worse, and so are most of the people I interact with.

Pretty sure any Americans willing to go out of their way to use a niche FOSS platform like Lemmy are already aware of this and trying to make change in the little ways they can. You’re kind of preaching to the choir. If you want to reach anyone go to facebook or Twitter or reddit (where your post will then be deleted by a power tripping mod)

Edit: also for clarity, how do you know this isn’t public knowledge in the US? Have you been there? If so, where? It’s not like all 300 million people in the US have the same viewpoints.

If not, I can tell you right now that our national politics are ultimately decided by a few thousand people in the most rural parts of the country who barely know what the internet is. If you look in places like NYC or Minneapolis or Seattle then you will get a much different picture of what people think than in Texas or Florida. People do what they can but when you have the entire government and billionaires against you it isn’t exactly easy to make changes that people see on the other side of the world.

The work-life balance is otherwise pretty good and my manager/direct coworkers are chill 🤷

Otherwise I would have lost motivation a long time ago

That’s the thing though. Even if the code is good, the plans are good, the outputs are good, etc, it still devolves into chaos after some time.

If you use AI to generate a bunch of code you then don’t internalize it as if you wrote it. You miss out on reuse patterns and implementation details which are harder to catch in review than they are in implementation. Additionally, you don’t have anyone who knows the code like the back of their hand because (even if supervised) a person didn’t write the code, they just looked over it for correctness, and maybe modified it a little bit.

It’s the same reason why sometimes handwritten notes can be better for learning than typed notes. Yeah one is faster, but the intentionality of slowing down and paying attention to little details goes a long way making code last longer.

There’s maybe something to be said about using LLMs as a sort of sanity check code reviewer to catch minor mistakes before passing it on to a real human for actual review, but I definitely see it as harmful for anything actually “generative”

As someone who has to sift through other people’s LLM code every day at my job I can confirm it has definitely not gotten better in the past three months

DNA isn’t perfect either though. It’s possible to be AMAB with XX chromosomes and AFAB with XY chromosomes (both still having the “correct” fully functional organs for their assigned gender). Some intersex people can also have multiple sets of DNA, some being XX and some being XY.

Neatly fitting all cases of biology into 2 categories like that is basically impossible anyway regardless of how you do it. “Biologically male/female” is basically impossible to define without also excluding some people that were born into each category. They’re fundamentally useless terms that don’t actually convey anything meaningful…

What does your happiness have to do with anything I said?

So what you’re saying is that you already disowned your sister for her religious views, but you regret that and want her to come back… by converting her back to Muslim beliefs? You don’t see the hypocrisy in that? You already seem to care about her more than your religion, otherwise you wouldn’t be making this post.

It seems like you’re unwilling to accept a decision she’s already made. If your family cares more about maintaining strict religious beliefs than accepting your own sister, you’ll be causing her more pain by continuously trying to convert her back. If all you’re doing is trying to absolve yourself from any guilt by saying you tried, then you might as well give up now. That’s just your own selfishness and won’t change her beliefs.

It’s not like being an atheist means someone will instantly have no morals. In fact, it’s usually the opposite. If someone needs the threat of eternal damnation to motivate themself to do good things, I’m sorry but they probably aren’t a good person to begin with.

NixOS manages to be all of these at once except the manual dependency management

As someone who has worked with a pretty large C# codebase and several smaller ones, I’ve found it to be one of the least efficient languages to program in. This is maybe not a technical fault of the language, but the way Microsoft encourages developing C# means that once you get past a certain point even simple MRs will have 10-20 files changed. There is sooooooooo much boilerplate caused by .NET that even things like Java Spring Boot just don’t have (and even then I’d consider Java to be a pretty bloated language in terms of boilerplate).

That’s ignoring the fact that the ecosystem surrounding .NET is a lot more enterprise-y, meaning a good portion of libraries require paid licenses to use.

My company uses it for some of our legacy on-prem hosting, but a lot of that is being actively decommissioned.

Most of the world can’t feasibly install non-Apple-approved apps on iOS without paying $100 a year so something like that would probably never catch on in iOS land

It’s an Android app patcher that removes ads and adds some other quality of life patches. Primarily for YouTube but it supports several other apps as well.

On YouTube it also adds things like integrated SponsorBlock, extrapolating dislikes, actual resolution buttons, and the option to disable shorts.

What you’re talking about is “source-available.” I.e. being able to read source code but not having licensing rights to redistribute or make changes.

“Open-source” means that being able to modify and distribute changes is built into the license of the code.

For example, Minecraft Java is source-available in that decompiling Java bytecode is trivial - enough so that tools exist which can easily generate a source code dump. However, actually distributing that source code dump is technically illegal and falls under piracy, so it isn’t open source.

Edit: I didn’t see your edit, this comment is kind of pointless, oh well

I mean I don’t see any reason why a Wayland compositor couldn’t support it, it’s pretty cursed either way though.

There’s a screenshot in one of the other comments in this thread (from owenfromcanda, I think the other screenshots are fake)

X11 already supports this lol
